Hickey was chosen by the Boston Red Sox with the 136th overall selection, while Scott went to the New York Mets with the 142nd pick in the draft.

Hickey and Scott represent the third and fourth Gators to be taken in this year’s MLB Draft, following second round picks Jud Fabian<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_roster.aspx-3Frp-5Fid-3D14217&d=DwIF-g&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=A-f9lw3wC2nPndVYBhAdheE3JMfC9oYOGrTrVQt9a3I&s=CJL-auFlve4QpMXRm5rDl5Z-6oJ91tL3Wkqs3pBgCoU&e= > and Tommy Mace<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_roster.aspx-3Frp-5Fid-3D14223&d=DwIF-g&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=A-f9lw3wC2nPndVYBhAdheE3JMfC9oYOGrTrVQt9a3I&s=J9lIzXSeMlnlWShrGNM1ehHW10DvMs1dCSRh1PPg2q0&e= >. The 2021 MLB Draft marks the first time since 2016 that Florida has seen four-or-more players drafted in the first-five rounds.

In being selected 136th overall, Hickey is now the fourth-highest drafted catcher in program history, trailing only Mike Zunino (third overall in 2012), Marc Sullivan (52nd overall in 1979) and Taylor Gushue (131st overall in 2014). Hickey is the 91st player to be drafted during head coach Kevin O’Sullivan<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_coaches.aspx-3Frc-3D1291&d=DwIF-g&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=A-f9lw3wC2nPndVYBhAdheE3JMfC9oYOGrTrVQt9a3I&s=pyPS9UQM1R4-PURsOg4k8KM1ZzMI70-xyywwx-YaohM&e= >’s 14-year tenure at Florida and the 208th individual draftee in program history.

On his way to collecting 2021 Newcomer All-SEC Team and SEC All-Tournament Team honors, Hickey led the Gators with a .317 batting average, .435 on-base percentage and 50 RBI. The second-year Gators backstop also slugged .522 with nine home runs, two triples, 15 doubles, 40 runs, 42 walks and one stolen base. He finished the season ranking seventh in the SEC in walks and ninth in OBP.

Hickey was one of two Gators to play in and start all 60 games for Florida in 2021, splitting time between catcher, first base, third base and designated hitter. The Jacksonville, Fla. native spent the majority of the 2021 campaign behind the plate, where he appeared in 40 games and delivered a .992 fielding percentage across 366 defensive chances.

Over the course of two seasons in Gainesville, Hickey played in 75 games including 73 starts and posted a .316/.436/.539 batting line over 269 career at-bats. He totaled 13 home runs, two triples, 17 doubles, 57 RBI, 52 runs, 52 walks and two stolen bases to pair with a .989 fielding percentage on the defensive end.

With Mace being drafted in the second round earlier today, Scott represents the 18th Gators pitcher to be drafted in the first-five rounds since Kevin O’Sullivan<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_coaches.aspx-3Frc-3D1291&d=DwIF-g&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=A-f9lw3wC2nPndVYBhAdheE3JMfC9oYOGrTrVQt9a3I&s=pyPS9UQM1R4-PURsOg4k8KM1ZzMI70-xyywwx-YaohM&e= >’s arrival in Gainesville in 2008 – a total which ranks third nationally. Scott is also the 51st pitcher to be drafted in any round under O’Sullivan and the 92nd player selected under his watch overall.

Scott pitched almost exclusively as a reliever in 2021, with 25 of his team-leading 26 appearances coming out of the bullpen. Scott finished with a 4-2 record and a 3.00 ERA across 54 innings pitched while nailing down two saves in the process. He also struck out 51 batters and held opposing hitters to a .230 batting average against.

Overall, Scott made 55 appearances including five starts over three seasons in Gainesville. During that time, he accumulated a 12-5 record to go with a 3.72 ERA and three saves. Scott struck out 111 batters over 121 career frames for the Gators.

Scott was named the SEC Freshman of the Week on April 1, 2019 – an accolade that is accompanied by a wealth of success in the classroom. The Parkland, Fla. native received academic honors from the SEC during each of his years in Orange and Blue, as Scott was named to the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll in 2019 and the SEC Academic Honor Roll in both 2020 and 2021.

What They’re Saying About Hickey

MLB.com
“…Hickey has raised his offensive profile to the point where he’s now being considered to be one of the best bats in Florida. He has a solid approach at the plate, drawing a ton of walks. He’s been tapping into his power and while some scouts see a bit of a max effort swing, he’s cut his strikeout rate down considerably this year. Hickey lost 20-25 pounds when he first got to Florida and has kept the weight off, making him more athletic in the box…”

Baseball America
“…This spring he was the best hitter on a strong Gators team. He posted a .317/.435/.522 line with nine home runs and more walks (42) than strikeouts (20). Hickey hammers fastballs and has done well with 93-plus mph velocity this spring and tries to access his easy plus raw power with a leveraged and steep uphill swing path. That’s allowed him to do damage to his pull side on pitches middle and down, but there is a hole at the top of the zone that better pitchers might be able to expose more often. A good feel for the strike zone and a willingness to take walks should take some of the pressure off of Hickey’s pure bat-to-ball skills…”

What They’re Saying About Scott

MLB.com
“…A 6-foot-4 right-hander, Scott had a lot of success in 2021 leaning mostly on his fastball and slider. He’s touched 98 mph with his heater and is regularly up to 95 mph, rarely thrown straight. He throws his mid-80s slider almost as much as his fastball and he does miss a fair amount of bats with it and is most successful when he stays down in the zone. He had a curve and changeup when he first arrived on campus and while he does mix in the occasional offspeed offering, he’s largely shelved them. Scott threw a ton of strikes in 2021, though he’s more control over command with a head whack and some effort in his delivery limiting him somewhat. He’s limited to a bullpen role, but he’s shown his stuff should be effective with a similar gig at the next level.”

Baseball America
“…This spring, Scott continued to be a reliable arm for the Gators out of the bullpen, leading the team in appearances (26) while posting a 3.00 ERA. Coaches said Scott took a step forward with his fastball command during the fall and he posted the lowest walk rate of his career this spring (1.5 BB/9) while sitting in the 93-95 mph range and running the pitch into the upper 90s at its peak. Scott is mostly a fastball/slider pitcher and his breaking ball comes in hard in the mid 80s. The pitch shows some solid action when he lands it down and to his glove side, but it also backs up on him fairly regularly when he leaves it up in the zone. Scott also throws a low-to-mid-80s changeup that looks like a solid pitch when he hits on it, but he rarely uses it…”
